Correct answer: D

As we know, escape velocity,

Ve=2GMR=2GR.(43πR3ρ)∝Rρ{V_e} = \sqrt {{{2GM} \over R}} = \sqrt {{{2G} \over R}.\left( {{4 \over 3}\pi {R^3}\rho } \right)} \propto R\sqrt \rho Ve​=R2GM​​=R2G​.(34​πR3ρ)​∝Rρ​

∴\therefore∴ VeVp=ReRpρeρp{{{V_e}} \over {{V_p}}} = {{{R_e}} \over {{R_p}}}\sqrt {{{{\rho _e}} \over {{\rho _p}}}} Vp​Ve​​=Rp​Re​​ρp​ρe​​​

⇒VeVp=Re2Reρe2ρe\Rightarrow {{{V_e}} \over {{V_p}}} = {{{R_e}} \over {2{R_e}}}\sqrt {{{{\rho _e}} \over {2{\rho _e}}}}⇒Vp​Ve​​=2Re​Re​​2ρe​ρe​​​

∴\therefore∴ Ration VeVp=1:22{{{V_e}} \over {{V_p}}} = 1:2\sqrt 2 Vp​Ve​​=1:22​
